Note: *This chapter is slightly longer than the other ones,* so you guys have a lot to say in your reviews… I love good semi-long reviews.
Stella woke up in a really good mood, she got ready quickly and rode to work. Flack picked her up since he was also on his way to work.
"Hey Stella, today is going to be a good day, trust me."
"I know it will," she knew he didn't know why. They sat quietly until they got to the lab. "I got to go check in with Mac."
"You do that, I got to go pick up Jess anyway."
Stella got out of his car and went to Mac's office. He was looking out the window, and Stella came up behind him and put her arms around his waist, and put her head on his right shoulder.
"Good morning Stella," he said after Stella kissed him on his cheek.
"Good morning to you too, Mac we got plans for tonight."
"And what exactly is that?" he asked all flirty turning around.
"Oh now Mac, I can't tell you it's a surprise."
"Stella, you can't do that to me. What is it?"
"Mac, I'm not telling you. No matter how hard you beg."
They both heard a cough and they turned to the door. Lindsay was standing there smiling.
"Lindsay, what did you hear?"
"Nothing, just you telling Mac that you're not telling him no matter how hard he begs, why?"
"Can't a woman wonder?"
"I guess not Stella, well I'm here now, so Mac… you know what to do."
Mac nods and Lindsay left.
"Mac, that was close we have to be careful how we act. We might get caught."
"Stella, I was thinking… we should tell them already I hate hiding this stuff from people."
"Oh, like you did with Peyton," she said crossing her arms. Mac didn't know what to say. "Mac, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say her name."
"No Stella, it's seriously okay. That was so long ago."
"And I brung it up, I hate myself."
"Please don't Stell, I promise, I'm fine," he put his hand on her shoulder, and she shakes it off and leaves. The bad thing is that she couldn't tell anybody what was wrong, because then she would tell everybody her and Mac's secret.
Mac on the other hand called everybody into his office.
"You guys, I have news to share with all of you. It's about me and Stella."
"You guys can't leave the lab," Adam said jumping to a conclusion.
"Adam, let him talk," Lindsay and Danny told him.
"Okay Mac… continue," Flack stated.
"Well, we were going to keep this a secret for a while, but I can't take it anymore. What I'm trying to tell you is that me and Stella…" he breathed deeply. "Are… together."
Everybody goes into shock. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, it was ever since the day we came back from Greece."
He heard a few awes. Danny and Flack hugged him. Stella came into the office. Lindsay turns around and hugs her.
"We all just heard…"
"Heard what?"
"About you and Mac being a couple," Adam phrased.
"Oh, he told you didn't he," she smiles and walks over to Mac. She kisses him on the cheek.
"Okay everybody file out," Mac ordered and they all left. "See Stella, they were happy to find out."
"Yeah, I'm glad you got the courage to tell them."
A few hours passed and Stella and Mac got off their shift.
"So Stella, where exactly are we going tonight for our date?"
"Just to a little bar."
"That's the surprise," he sounded upset.
"Just kidding I got some arrangements… just wait we are almost there." He sees that they are going to Central Park.
"Stella, you didn't have to," he couldn't help but smile. She takes his hand and they sit on a bench.
"But I have to Mac, okay."
Why is this woman so nice? Why can't Mac just see that he is important to me?
(Um don't know what to do with their date… but you guys can imagine anything that could have happened.)
"Mac, can I stay with you tonight?"
"Um… sure Stella," he smirked and they took a cab to his place. They arrive in his living room."Stella, I'm pretty tired…"
"So am I Mac. Where do you want me to sleep?"
"What a silly question?" he laughed, but the look on her face showed him that she wasn't joking. "Oh… um in my bed of course."
"Good thing I don't have my snoring problem anymore. Oh, what am I going to sleep in?"
"You can sleep in one of my t-shirts and boxers."
"Okay," they go into his bedroom and they both changed into sleeping clothes. Mac pulls down the covers and they both got in the bed. Stella snuggled close to Mac, making him smile, he flipped over so he was facing Stella.
"Stella… good night," he kisses her on the cheek, but Stella didn't enjoy that. Come on Mac, we both know you can do better than this. She made sure he gave her a real kiss.
"Mac good night to you too," he smiled turned back around and Stella hugged his waist. Mac felt really glad when Stella was pressed up against him like that. This is the best kind of feeling. They both slowly fall asleep.
The morning came quickly for the two. Stella woke up and noticed Mac missing. She quickly got up from the bed and smelled something delicious. Stella goes out and sees Mac cooking in the kitchen. She goes up to him and puts her arms around his waist.
"Hey sexy, have a good sleep?"
"Wait, now I'm sexy," Mac smiled and kissed her gently upon her cheek. Stella didn't say anything. "Is something wrong Stella?"
"Not at all, why?"
"That's a shame, if you were I would make you feel better."
"Well, I am feeling a little upset," she laughed. She slowly took her arms from his waist, which Mac knew she wanted him to turn around. He did so in a timely manner, and planted a kiss on her lips.
"Is that better?" he smiled.
"Oh, it was all right… now let's eat some breakfast."
She sits down and lets Mac serve her. "You are such a gentleman," this comment made Mac smile brightly. I don't really like eating breakfast, but since Mac was kind enough to make some I'll eat it. He is a good cook, which is hard to find in a man.
"So, did you enjoy your sleep?"
"Yeah, especially sleeping next to you."
"It felt good didn't it?"
Stella nods. "Mac… I was thinking, and I would like to take up on your offer," she said swallowing her eggs.
"What offer is that?"
"When I was sick you were talking about how you hated living far apart from each other."
"Um… yeah," Mac didn't know where this was heading, and Stella noticed it in his beautiful blue eyes.
"Mac, what I'm trying to say is that I want to move in with you."
Mac dropped all the food that was in his mouth. "Um… we have to head to work."
Stella frowned as he left the kitchen. Gosh, why can't I think before I speak? I understand how he feels though… maybe it's just too soon.
I really wouldn't mind living with Stella, but I think it's just a little too soon, but I don't know how to break the news to her.
While they head to work they don't say anything to each other, which they both hated. They got out of the cab, and Adam greeted them happily.
"You guys have a late night?" he laughed. Stella and Mac just looked at each other. Mac shrugged and left them two alone.
"It was all right… up to this morning."
"Why, what happened… you're not going to break up are you… please don't."
"Adam, calm down… it's just that I told him that I want to move in with him."
"Oh, and what did he say?"
"Nothing, but I'm not going to bring it up again."
Mac ran into Danny and Lindsay and told him the same story.
"Well, do you want to?" Lindsay asked.
"Trust me I do, but… isn't it too soon?"
"Yeah Mac, it might be, but I'm not into all this romance stuff with other people."
"Don't mind him Mac, we should be getting back to work."
"Yeah, you guys should," he said in his boss voice. He heads to his office, and Stella was in the other side of the building talking to Sid about the dead bodies he held.
They both had this sense of concern, and they both knew the other person had the same problem.
Well that's it for my slightly longer chapter. I hope to get good reviews. I love hearing what you guys think, what you don't think, or what you think is going to or should happen.
